Altering the Position of Phenyl Substitution to Adjust Film Morphology and Memory Device Performance

In this study, two structural isomers α‐PBT and β‐PBT, which only differ in the phenyl substituent position on the quinoline chromophore, have been designed and successfully synthesized. The influences of substituent position on the film morphology and the storage performance of the devices were investigated. Both molecules employed in the memory devices exhibited same nonvolatile binary (write‐once‐read‐many‐times; WORM) characteristics, but the switch threshold voltage (Vth) of the β‐PBT‐based device was clearly lower than that of the α‐PBT‐based device. Simulation results demonstrate that the variation of the phenyl substituent position led to different intermolecular stacking styles and thus to varied grain sizes for each film morphology. This work illustrates that altering the phenyl substituent position on the molecular backbone could improve the quality of the film morphology and reduce power consumption, which is good for the rational design of future advanced organic memory devices (OMDs).     

The Convenient Synthesis of 11‐Methyl‐3,8‐disubstituted‐12‐aryl‐3,4,7,8,9,12‐hexahydro‐1H‐chromeno[2,3‐b]quinoline‐1,10(2H)‐dione Derivatives

The 2‐arylidene‐3‐oxobutanenitrile derivatives 2 were prepared by the Knoevenagel condensation between aldehydes and 3‐oxobutanenitrile 1 , which was obtained by acid hydrolysis of β‐aminocrotononitrile. 3‐Acetyl‐2‐amino‐4H‐chromen‐5(6H)‐one derivatives 3 were synthesized by reaction of 2‐arylidene‐3‐oxobutanenitrile 2 and 5‐substituted‐1,3‐cyclohexanedione in ethylene glycol. The 11‐methyl‐3,8‐disubstituted‐12‐aryl‐3,4,7,8,9,12‐hexahydro‐1H‐chromeno[2,3‐b]quinoline‐1,10(2H)‐dione derivatives 4 were obtained by Friedländer reaction of compounds 3 with 5‐substituted‐1,3‐cyclohexanedione, using p‐toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate as catalyst. The structures of all novel compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, MS, and ¹H NMR spectra. The crystal and molecular structure of compound 4f has been determined by single crystal XRD analysis.     

Postfunctionalization of BN‐Embedded Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds for Fine‐Tuning of Their Molecular Properties

New BN‐embedded, thiophene‐fused, polycyclic aromatic compounds with planar geometry were designed and synthesized. The molecules showed excellent stability and chemical robustness. Postfunctionalization on this skeleton was demonstrated with a series of electrophilic bromination, palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling, and Knoevenagel condensation reactions. The π skeleton remained intact during these late‐stage transformations. The optical and electronic properties have been well tuned through incorporation of electron‐rich and ‐deficient groups on the backbone. This work shows the great advantage of the postfunctionalization strategy on BN‐containing polycyclic aromatic compounds for fast diversification and materials screening.

One new sesquiterpene compound, namely, illihenlactone A(1), and one new prenylated C_6–C_3 compound, illihenryione H(2), along with three known sesquiterpenes(3–5) were isolated from the stems of Illicium henryi. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by spectroscopic evidence including NMR, HRESIMS and circular dichroism(CD). Compound 2 exhibited a weak inhibitory ratio for bglucuronidase release induced by platelet-activating factor(PAF) in rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes(PMNs) in vitro.

Salting-in/Salting-out Mechanism of Carbon Dioxide in Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions

The solvation of carbon dioxide in sea water plays an important role in the carbon circle and the world climate. The salting-out/salting-in mechanism of CO₂ in electrolyte solutions still remains elusive at molecule level. The ability of ion salting-out/salting-in CO₂ in electrolyte solution follows Hofmeister Series and the change of water mobility induced by salts can be predicted by the viscosity B-coefficients. In this work, the chemical potential of carbon dioxide and the dynamic properties of water in aqueous NaCl, KF and NaClO₄ solutions are calculated and analyzed. According to the viscosity B-coefficients, NaClO₄ (0.012) should salt out the carbon dioxide relative to in pure water, but the opposite effect is observed for it. Our simulation results suggest that the salting-in effect of NaClO₄ is due to the strongly direct anion-CO₂ interaction. The inconsistency between Hofmeister Series and the viscosity B-coefficient suggests that it is not always right to indicate whether a salt belongs to salting-in or salting-out just from these properties of the salt solution in the absence of solute.     

Exact controllability of nodal profile for 1‐D first order quasilinear hyperbolic systems with internal controls

For 1‐D first order quasilinear hyperbolic systems without zero eigenvalues, based on the theory of exact boundary controllability of nodal profile, using an extension method, the exact controllability of nodal profile can be realized in a shorter time by means of additional internal controls acting on suitably small space‐time domains. On the other hand, using a perturbation method, the exact controllability of nodal profile for 1‐D first order quasilinear hyperbolic systems with zero eigenvalues can be realized by additional internal controls to the part of equations corresponding to zero eigenvalues. Furthermore, by adding suitable internal controls to all the equations on suitable domains, the exact controllability of nodal profile for systems with zero eigenvalues can be realized in a shorter time.

Experimental investigation of creep-crack-tip deformation using moiré interferometry

High-temperature moiré interferometry was applied to obtain full-field creep-crack-tip displacements of a three-point bend Al 2024-T4 specimen uner constant temperature of 200°C up to 720 hr.C ^* was evaluated by the moiré data obtained at discrete time intervals. Test results indicate that under steady-state creep condition, the creepcrack-tipv-displacement rate agrees with the asymptotic solution based on theC ^* integral. However, no creeping behavior was observed for the crack-tipu-displacement field aftert=276 hr. This discrepancy may be due to the initial large creep-crack-tip blunting and cavitation damage which alter the creep-crack-tip singular field such that theC ^* integral is no longer applicable to characterize the steady-state creep-crack-tip field. Postmortem studies of the tested specimen also revealed transgranular fracture path with the ordered grain boundaries perpendicular to the crack line, which may relate to the existence of the substantial crack-tip blunting and noncreeping behavior of theu-displacement field, i.e., the size and shape of material grain boundaries play an important role in the crack-tip-creeping behavior of the material.Paper was preseted at the 1991 SEM Spring Conference on Experimental Mechanics held in Milwaukee, WI on June 9–13.     

Numerical simulation of supersonic reacting mixing layer

In this paper, the supersonic chemically reacting mixing layer is simulated with the third order ENN scheme, based on the Navier-Stokes equations, containing transport equations of all species. The numerical results show that the thickness of mixing layer increases gradually along the flow direction, and that the Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities may not exist in mixing layer flows.
